  • Today's tool review features the WORX TRIVAC WG512 Electric Leaf Blower, Mulcher, and Vacuum. This is an updated version from previous models and now has a patented converter switch to go from a blower to a vacuum. It has impressive blower speeds of 70mph and 600 CFM airflow. It also has an impressive metal impeller with a 16:1 mulching ration. The bag includes an adjustable shoulder strap, which makes 1 handed operation very easy. The video shows all the features and what it's capable of.

      I'd say definitely gas and battery. This review was a year ago I see but I'm just now looking into buying one of these. I LOVE the concept and in fact, a uncle of mine just got one and LOVES it. The issue for myself is the fact its not wireless. Does anyone know if they actually make a gas/Battery operated one? Or something equivalent? I have 4 acres and I'm also a female who lives alone. I find in to be such a "pain in the arse" not only have to pull out a super long extention cord but the MAIN issue i have, the cord isn't long enough with no outlets near by (rem I have 4 acres which 2 of them i really "clean up" since there are 2 decks, wrap around porch, barn, pool area, super long driveway, framed out flower beds everywhere, sidewalks, and much more). The other MAIN issue i have now with just my current leaf blower that electric, the extention cord constantly gets stuck on/under things. For example my huge wrap around porch that I have outdoor furniture etc. Thats even moving all of it around before and during "my cleaning session lol". You get the point. Hopefully! I have to ask my uncle who now owns this machine because he recently just purchased it. (He lives in the city and lives in a smaller row home so this is beyond perfect for him). In this demo (which i loved btw) i noticed when "sucking up the leaves for example," it didn't seem too "powerful" if you will. I hope I'm wrong. This isn't to come across as negative as well as pointing out all the concerns I have. I'm only stating to hopefully be able to get some legit honest answers. I truly appreciate anyone and everyone that takes the time to just read my longer message (apologies in advance) let alone also reply with any advice.

    Very nice clear review! I live I. A gaited community and all leaves were supposed to be removed last fall. I attempted to clear them with a leaf blower and rake and broom, filled one bag and left the rest near the street.
    They are now deep in my beds and still on my yard. This is exactly what I need. Thank you for getting to the point quickly and answering all my questions in a Short and incisive video. I’ll let you know how it works after I get it.

    Great Review, thanks. Besides using for piling leaves, vacuum, mulching, seems powerful enough for clearing off light snow from our composite deck allowing for convenient and safer, access to BBQ and hot tub. Choosing the electric plug in as you mentioned as outdoor outlet nearby, it is quieter than gas (can use before work earlier in morning when necessary), also more powerful than many battery powered and certainly less money. On sale, going to buy it!

    • @MarkThomasBuilder
      @MarkThomasBuilder  Před 3 lety +3

      It's quieter than gas and would be powerful enough to use as a leaf blower for light snow. The Worx company mentioned that they kept this version as a corded model because a battery wouldn't hold up long enough to power it for fall cleanups.

I see the 2 tabs that you press in so that it could be removed but I never removed it and think that there must be dirt or something where I can't take it off to attach the gutter attachments on it. Maybe you can help me with this. I'm 71 years old and have very week hands and just can't seem to press and pull at the same time. Good video by the way and love the unit!

    I wonder how well it blows leaves that are siting in the grass in the yard? I only see demos of it blowing leaves on sidewalks, streets or patios which are quite smooth compared to a grass covered yard. I worry that the grass will hold the leave and not let them blow easily into a pile or concentrated area making them easier to vacuum.

    I have been considering purchasing one. But I really would like to see an more accurate representation. When I but leaves in a bag I don't leave them fluffy. I press them into the bag. I try to put as much in the bag as I possibly can. If this mulcher breaks them down to 50% more I would consider it a good purchase.

  • @brockreynolds870
    @brockreynolds870 Před rokem

    I ended up keeping this unit... and I finally found the secret to easy use. It reduces leaves 16-1.. and it DOES suck and shred extremely well. The weight and the way the unit is balanced is a problem for me. HOWEVER... after some experimentation, What I do is just blow my leaves into a pile or windrow against the fence, and turn this unit on, lay it down on it's side, and then just use my leaf rake to gently direct the leaves toward the snout. It''s sucks them right in, shreds a huge pile so it fits into a couple bags, and makes things easy to deal with. I also use it in the regular way to suck leaves out of nooks and crannies under patio chairs, behind bushes etc.... it's really great for that.

    It was a good introduction to the machine. My house has an incline that is full of dead leaves possibly one to two feet deep from years of accumulation.

      I know this Trivac takes quite a bit of power to run it so that's why it's electric. ECHO and Stihl make a gas powered unit, but costs a lot more. The Worx Trivac has to just about touch the leaves to suck them up. It does lift them quickly, once they're in the tube. Are those answers to your questions helpful?

    I have the Worx Tri-Vac and it works well. The only thing I'm having trouble with is removing the tube in order to store it in its box. It is necessary to remove the tube or should I just leave it on? It was kind of hard putting it on but it finally clicked in place. I can put it in the box but with the tube attached it sticks out causing it harder to store on a shelf. What is the easiest way to remove the tube and then put it back on again?

    On their website it claims 75mph, 600cfm while the WG524 that comes with the garbage bin attachment states 70mph at 620cfm. I really don't need the garbage bin attachment as I don't do that much mulching although I do have a question. What thickness & brand of power cords do you use? I've used thick & thin ones, the thick always feel too heavy although longevity is really important to me too. I'd quote gauges for the wire but I don't know what they were. Finding a good reel for the cords has so far proven to be impossible too. Any advice you have would be great. I already own a Stihl Kombi KM 94R so I'd like to keep my blower electric to reduce fuel costs.

    My question is what causes the vacuum to loose suction so quickly? I have another version of this same tool and it only works 5 minutes and I empty very little of the mulched leaves before it looses suction. I have very little in the mulching bag and I attach the empty bag to the machine. At first the vacuum is great and then within a few minutes again I loose suction. I am not sure what is going on. It shouldn't loose suction that fast.

The WG509 will be have a higher mulching ratio of 18 to 1 and the WG512 will have a mulching ratio of 16 to 1. Based on there being different types of lawns a choice between these two items will be based on a customers discretion.
